I would prefer not to get a new body, because I already have a few telephoto lenses for this camera that I bought when I went on safari...

Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with four thirds sensor cameras, so I can't really comment on that front. I would lean towards replacing it with an SLR though. I don't personally know anyone who shoots real estate on four thirds.
As far as width, if you are shooting with a cropped sensor, I'd recommend 11mm at the widest end, with the caveat that you should always shoot as tight as possible. 10mm starts to look goofy. 11mm comes in handy, but you have to be careful in your comps.
If you're interested in getting into real estate photography, I can try to answer any questions you might have.
